In the crushing section, the ore as it comes from the mine is broken down dry to a size suitable for the wet grinding machines ; these can, if necessary, be made to take lumps of 2-in. size, but they work much more efficiently if their feed is ½ in. or less. Before the advent of … Read more
The Beneficiation flowsheet shown with this study is particularly adapted to the concentration of tungsten ore in small tonnages. Tungsten minerals are generally in the friable class and therefore concentrating processes are hindered by the excess amount of fines produced in the crushing and grinding steps. Special consideration must be given to the stage reduction … Read more
PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Batch Gold Cyanidation-Leaching Plant. ORE TREATED: Small tonnages of high-grade gold-silver ores and flotation or Jig concentrates amenable to cyanide treatment, used for treating as low as one ton of concentrates per day. ADVANTAGES: Where the tonnage of ore or concentrates is too low for standard continuous cyanidation plants (usually less than … Read more
PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Continuous counter-current decantation cyanidation flowsheet. ORE TREATED: Gold and silver ores amenable to the cyanidation process and where economics justify plant outlay. ADVANTAGES: By producing the precious metals in bullion form, the highest net return is realized on many gold and silver ores. Where the tonnage available for treatment justifies the capital … Read more
PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Jig gold concentrates reground and cyanide leached. Mineral Jig in ball mill-classifier circuit for removing sulphides for fine grinding and subsequent cyanidation leach. ORE TREATED: Sulphide gold or silver ores where fine grinding of the sulphides is necessary to expose the gold or silver to the cyanide solution and where it is … Read more
PROCESS FLOWSHEET DESCRIPTION: Gold Mineral Jig in cyanide circuit with amalgamation of the Jig concentrates. ORE TREATED: Practically all ores treated by cyanidation and especially all ores containing coarse gold. ADVANTAGES: The Mineral Jig and Amalgamation Unit have a definite place in cyanide plants, as it has been found that the gold recovered by the Jig … Read more
